Thank you for sharing your views on the "abuser fee" provisions which were included as a revenue component of the recently enacted omnibus transportation bill (HB 3202). These fees were developed by the majority members of the House of Delegates primarily as a means of raising funds for transportation while avoiding consideration of a broad-based, dedicated revenue source - the approach that I would have favored. Although I have misgivings about "abuser fees," and voted against them on several occasions in the past, I voted for HB 3202 as amended (and improved) by Governor Kaine. In my opinion, a number of features of the bill - including its funding for Metro and other mass transit operations, as well as its Northern Virginia regional package - outweighed the bill's deficiencies, notably the "abuser fee" provisions.
Sincerely,
Delegate Robert H. Brink
